If you’re on the hunt for a great cookie, here are some spots around Metro Manila worth visiting! You might find yourself buying just one—or an entire box to indulge in on your own or share with family and friends (only if you’re feeling generous).
1. The Kind Cookie
This small, pink-themed cookie store in Salcedo, Makati, is a go-to spot for Salcedo girlies and cookie enthusiasts after a productive weekend market stroll or just passing by on a weekday! The Kind Cookie offers unique flavors like Cookie Monster and Ube & Cheese, but their classic options, such as OG Chocolate Chip and Campfire, are definitely worth coming back for.
